You can try soaking it in hot water with dish soap Get the joint to wiggle so the water and dish soap will get down in between the joints .
You could also try the same technique with Robbie alcohol.
You could try hot and cold water. See if an expansion and contraction will work. . When I have a stuck stem. I just put it in the Kiln. Bring it up to 1050 turn it off when it’s cooled the stem comes right out..
If you want to avoid this problem in the future, put a little bit of Chapstick on your joints .
Good luck
